understandinguncertainty.org was produced by the Winton programme for the public understanding of risk based in the Statistical Laboratory in the University of Cambridge. The aim was to help improve the way that uncertainty and risk are discussed in society, and show how probability and statistics can be both useful and entertaining.
Many of the animations were produced using Flash and will no longer work.
Recently in the mail room I noticed for the first time that someone at my work place had the same first name as me (a very uncommon name in the UK but a bit more common in french and spanish speaking regions- but nonetheless have never met anyone else with my name) and this person had the same last name (also uncommon) of a classmate of mine from 15+ years ago, which I still remembered although I had never had any contact with her after leaving that school. The coincidence is that that very evening, I had a facebook friend request from this old classmate.
